Jey Uso is officially set to challenge GUNTHER for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 41.
On Monday’s episode of Raw, Uso was making his entrance and "yeeting" on the announce table when GUNTHER launched a surprise attack from behind.
The assault continued until officials separated them. Later, Uso confirmed that he had chosen to challenge GUNTHER at WrestleMania instead of going after Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes.
Uso and GUNTHER have developed an intense rivalry in WWE, particularly centered around the Intercontinental Championship and GUNTHER’s dominant reign in early 2024. In their past encounters, GUNTHER has consistently come out on top, cementing his status as a dominant champion. Their rivalry escalated throughout late 2024 and into 2025.
The two last clashed at Saturday Night’s Main Event in January, where GUNTHER successfully retained his title in the main event. Uso secured his WrestleMania title opportunity by winning the 2025 Royal Rumble.
WrestleMania 41 will be a two-night event, taking place on Saturday, April 19, and Sunday, April 20, 2025, at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.
